Every individual with an acquired brain injury who is referred to Lifeways has a specialist assessment undertaken by the ABI team.
The assessment aims to highlight an individual’s key needs as well as the challenges likely to be faced by the support team during the course of their work. The information assists with the development of comprehensive support plans and risk assessments and forms the basis for our specialist support worker training.
Dedicated Service Managers within each region are responsible for managing all individuals with an ABI, with the support of the ABI team. A designated Team Leader is appointed to head the team of support workers delivering support to the client. Team Leaders and Support Workers are trained intensively in order to provide the most effective rehabilitation and support service.

• Module 1: ABI Awareness Training
